This document provides an overview of Albert Bandura and his social learning theory. Some key points:
- Bandura emphasized the importance of observational learning and modeling behaviors, attitudes, and reactions of others.
- He identified four processes involved in observational learning: attention, retention, motor reproduction, and motivation.
- Bandura's famous Bobo doll experiment demonstrated that children's aggressive behaviors could be learned through observation.
- There are three core concepts of social learning theory: learning through observation, the role of internal mental states, and that learning does not always lead to behavioral changes.

2. INTRODUCTION
Social learning theory emphasizes
on the importance of observing
and modelling the behaviours,
attitudes and emotional reactions
of others.
Social learning theory focuses on
the learning that occurs within a
social context.
He stressed the importance of
observational learning, imitation
and modeling.
3. ALBERT BANDURA
“..most learning is gained by people’s perception and thinking about
what they experience. They learn by copying the examples of others
around them.”
- Albert Bandura
Born on December 4, 1925
Canadian, American
Studied at University of British
Columbia and University of Lowa.
Researched and taught at Stanford
University
Elected president of American
Psychological Association in 1974
Famous for research on social
learning theories.
4. BASIC SOCIAL LEARNING
CONCEPTS
Observational Learning - People can learn through
observation
Intrinsic Reinforcement – Mental states are important
for learning
The Modeling Process – Learning does not lead to a
change in behaviour.
5. OBSERVATIONAL LEARNING
A live model: Involves an actual individual demonstrating
or acting out a behavior.
A verbal instructional model: Involves descriptions and
explanations of a behavior.
A symbolic model: Which involves real or fictional
characters displaying behaviors in books, films,
television programs, or online media.
7. THE MODELING PROCESS
Not all observed behaviors are effectively learned.
Factors involving both the model and the learner can play
a role in whether social learning is successful.
The following steps are involved in the observational
learning and modeling process:
Attention
Retention
Motor reproduction
Motivation
12. PRINCIPLES OF SOCIAL
LEARNING THEORY
People can learn by observing the behaviour of others
and the outcomes of those behaviors.
Learning can occur without a change in behavior.
Cognition plays a role in learning.
13. SOCIAL LEARNING PERSPECTIVE
OF REINFORCEMENT AND
PUNISHMENT
1) SLT proposes that both reinforcement and punishment have
indirect effects on learning. They are not the sole or main
cause.
2) Reinforcement and punishment influence the extent to which
an individual exhibits a behaviour that has been learned.
3) The expectation of reinforcement influences cognitive
processes that promote learning. Therefore attention pays a
critical role in learning. And attention is influenced by the
expectation of reinforcement.
14. COGNITIVE FACTORS IN
SOCIAL LEARNING
Learning without performance
Cognitive processing during learning
Expectations
Reciprocal causation
Modeling
15. RESEARCH
EXPERIMENTS
Bobo the clown
Boys and girls watched a video of a
person performing violent acts on a
blowup clown named Bobo. Use of
kicking, punching and hammering were
modeled.
When children were then left alone with
the same blewup clown they performed
the same behaviors they had observed.

18. THERE ARE THREE CORE
CONCEPTS OF THE SOCIAL
LEARNING THEORY
People can learn through observation
Internal mental state is essential in the learning process
Learning does not necessarily lead to change in behavior
19. WHAT DO TEACHER DO
UNDER THIS THEORY?
To promote effective modeling a teacher must take sure
that the four essential conditions exist; attention,
retention, motor reproduction and motivation.
Teachers must model appropriate behaviors and take
care that they do not model inappropriate behaviors.
Teachers should help students set realistic expectations
for their academic accomplishments.
20. WHAT DO STUDENTS DO
UNDER THIS THEORY?
Students often learn a great deal simply by observing
other people.
Students must believe that they are capable of
accomplishing school tasks.
Students should closely observe appropriate behaviors
and learn from them.
21. APPLYING BANDURA’S
THEORY IN THE CLASSROOM
Carefully select audiovisuals that are to be used in the
classroom.
Create a sense of collective-efficacy by emphasizing team
work.
Set goals for students to accomplish, have them keep a
record of these accomplishments. Once a month take the
record out and celebrate their hard work.
Incorporate technology by putting the students challenges
and accomplishments online on the class website so they
can show their friends and family.
